Dear NWCOG Family,

Hope your summer is going well!  As we begin the month of August and prepare for a new school year we want to share the following upcoming events happening at NWCOG.

Signup for the next Baptism
Baptism is your testimony of surrendering your life to Christ. It is a joyful celebration in the life of the church. The next opportunity for baptism for children, youth and adults will take place at Camp Crosley at the all church picnic on Sunday, August 25^th.  
A required Baptism Class for adults will be held this Sunday, August 4^th at 9:30am.
A required class for elementary age children will be held on Sunday, August 11^th at 9:30am. 
A required class for youth will be held on Sunday, August 11^th at 11:00a.
Please register HERE to attend a class if you would like to be baptized at the lake on August 25^th.

Move Up Sunday
This Sunday, August 4 we are celebrating our kids and students moving up in age or grade! This weekend will be a little extra fun as we are making it a GIANT Sunday in combination with our last Summer to the Max. Inflatables, giant yard games and more! If your kids or teens want to participate in the theme and wear something “giant” they are welcome to. Kids and teenagers will also be prayed over in big worship. It’s important this Sunday that you drop your kids off early, as we will be lining up to head into worship right at the beginning. Kids services are at 9:30 & 11 a.m. and middle schoolers have Bible study at 9:30 a.m.

Epic Youth Podcast
This Podcast is designed for Middle and High School students who are striving to become more like Jesus. Students share their own life experiences and how their relationship with Christ has impacted their lives.

Kidz Cove Back to School Kickoff
What better way to kick off the new school year than enjoying a free Kona Ice for kids & students on Wednesday, August 7. Kona Ice will be there from 6-7 p.m. We will be out in the church parking lot from 6-7:30 p.m. with frisbee, corn hole, sidewalk chalk, and a bike/scooter course! So bring your bikes & scooters and let your kids ride around the blocked off church parking lot while we chat and listen to music. If you have any questions, please bring those too!
